Folmi offers PZH-approved films, specifically designed to meet the requirements of the food industry. Thanks to PZH certification, our films guarantee safety in contact with food, which is crucial for food producers and processors. These films provide excellent protection for food products, protecting them from moisture, contamination, and loss of freshness, resulting in a longer shelf life.
Production Capabilities
Material: Our PZH-approved films are made from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate, which meet the highest hygiene and safety standards. The use of LDPE regranulate enables sustainable production while maintaining the necessary quality standards, which is crucial for food contact.
Film Width: Food-grade films can be produced in widths up to 3000 mm, allowing for flexible adaptation to various types of packaging machines and the specific packaging requirements of various food products.
Film Length: We offer our films in lengths up to 3500 mm, allowing for customization to meet the specific needs of production processes and the requirements of automated packaging lines.
Film Thickness: Films with PZH food-grade certification are available in thicknesses ranging from 20 μm to 300 μm, providing flexibility in selecting the appropriate option – from thin, flexible films to thicker films for protecting heavier food products.
Additives
To ensure the highest functionality of food wraps, we offer a variety of additives that adapt their properties to specific requirements:
UV – UV protection, which increases the durability of products stored in sunlight, providing better food protection.
Colors – the ability to dye the wrap in various colors, supporting product differentiation and streamlining warehouse and production processes.
Anti-blocking and slipping – a special additive that prevents the wrap from sticking together, significantly simplifying its use and speeding up food packaging processes.
ESD – antistatic wrap that minimizes the risk of attracting dust and other contaminants, which is crucial for maintaining the highest level of hygiene in food packaging.
Low-Temperature Elasticizer – an additive that ensures the wrap remains flexible even at low temperatures (down to -29°C), crucial for storing frozen products.
Flexographic Printing – the ability to print product information such as logos, expiration dates, and instructions, supporting transparency and consumer identification.
Perforation – Perforations allow for adequate air circulation, which is important when packaging certain fresh food products, such as vegetables and fruit, to prevent condensation.
Applications
Folli's PZH-approved films are used in the food industry, where food safety is key. Our films provide optimal protection for food products, extending their freshness and preventing damage and contamination. They are ideal for packaging meat, fish, dairy products, bread, vegetables, and fruit, as well as for the production of individual and bulk packaging. Thanks to PZH approval, our films guarantee quality and safety for food producers and their customers.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
Delivery of the order: Goods are delivered to the address indicated by the customer within the specified timeframe.
